Try to do a factory reset if you can, then try it. I just got mine on the 1st and I had no problems.
I was going to root a firends dinc, had same issue. I read that if it was the new dinc with the new screen then unrevoked will not work at this time.
We aborted our try. Need to research 1st then will try again.

why dont you try it? report back when bricked.
Used it on my Desire earlier today, worked great
Did it through Ubuntu though, but sure it works just as well in Windows with V3.1.
someone posted youtube video of it being flashed... not great quality though.. looks fairly simple

Just used it on an already rooted desire
Only used it to get rid of stock recovery for clockworkmod
Works absolutely fantastic on a macbook pro
Just run the file
Connect your phone to your computer and it does everything automatic, just let it run for a minute it'll tell you what's going on, you'll end up in the recovery of your choice
100 stars to the devs of this!!! i'd donate a whole frickin keg if i could

This is looking pretty sweet for those of us who wanted an automated process Can anyone tell me how unrooting would work for this, in anticipation of the official Froyo update from HTC?
Used this yesterday, worked like a charm.. 1 minute, one click.
Installed Official FroYo Sense ROM...
Using this method you no longer need a goldcard at all.
so this is easy way to root a phone?
I did it yesterday. Incredibly easy and straightforward once you have the android drivers installed.

Would this preserve the data on your phone/sd card?
Tried this loads of times. Just sits there telling me to plug the phone in and enable usb debugging!
There is a thread on this in the Dev. forum. It might be worth posting any issues you have in there.
You need to install HTC Sync, then uninstall it, leaving the drivers installed. Install the driver that is included in the download package, connect the phone then click! This is on win7.
I have used this method and rooted my Desire! Thanks for the info. I am now thinking of installing a custom image of 2.2 to try. I would like to backup settings and applications before I do this. Any tips on how to do this? Has anyone else done this successfully?
I tried it yesterday and it worked fine! All you have to do is plug your usb cable and start the application. After a few restarts, the phone is rooted. You don't lose any settings, and your ROM stays untouched. You also have ClockWorkMod recovery flashed and you're ready to flash any ROM!

You could use Titanium Backup to back your stuff up.
any word on how to unroot?
I've had my Evo for about 3 weeks now and am now wanting to root now that I see cyanogenmod is coming to Evo. I've rooted my Nexus and G1 with no problems but it seems the Evo is more difficult, what is the easiest way to root my Evo? And would someone be willing to help me with rooting it via IM or something similar?
There are tons of threads in the android development forum to show you how. Not to mention there was a one click root at some point if I am not mistaken, although I have no idea if it still works.

Yea, I've seen all of them and they all seem tedious compared to Nexus rooting. Which is the best method to go about rooting? I want to use Amon RA recovery if that helps. I'd really appreciate if someone could help me too.
Can anyone help?
Simple Root is 3 clicks & you're rooted & nand unlocked. Running win7 x64 & worked great for me.
I was reading up on it, do I need to uninstall HTC sync and the HTC drivers to get it to work??
I believe for unrevoked you need to remove those items ( the last time i checked at v2 ).
Versus Simple Root... I believe those are all required to get it to work.
What Version is your phone it would be much easier to know

Charge-only
Awe crap, I forgot to put flash recovery, was I supposed to do that first or can I do that after step 1 or something???
Ok, so I got to part 4 and it just says starting part 2, thats it, it doesn't do anything more. Did I do something wrong, or....? Please help.
So could someone please help me???????

alot of that is very confusing. i just wish unrevoke would come out with a new fix to support 3.70 =[. do you have any other ways?
Read those threads its not hard... Thats how I rooted this evo... I got it when it 1st came out. Manual was the only way. Even if could have used something like simple root I would have done it manualy.
As far as I know that is your option right now.

The only root for 3.70 right now is the manual one. No unrevoked no auto root. Come back in a few weeks if that's what you're looking for.

I agree.... plus, you get to learn 1 or 2 things (if you care).
I am in the same exact boat. I tried what I thought was the manual way but that didn't work. I then tried a couple of auto root options that of course didn't work. I wonder if I tried a different manual root method than you all are refering to? Can someone link me to the exact manual method please? I prefer the manual way myself, it just didn't seem to work for me. Is it possible that the latest ota update put a stop to the manual method as well? Can anyone confirm they have used said method on said version, successfully? Sorry for the long post, anxious to get a new rom put on this phone and unlock it's real potential. Thanks allot everyone!

They can't do it at the sprint store either. If it is s-on with 2.3. They have the same RUU that we do and it does not work.
You can't root or downgrade the OTA yet, so for now, you have to just wait.

Nope, not yet for the Evo. Unrevoked will make a new version, once they get root, and you'll know, because it'll be plastered all over the forums.
Hi, I have tried rooting about 20 times (not even kidding), and almost every time it gets stuck on step #7. I have installed drivers from LG and have phone in debugging mode. (I tried doomlord, but it won't recognize my Nitro) Does anyone have any advice to help me root my Nitro?

Try rooting it the way they root the optimus. That's what I did and it worked fine.

Did you use the latest SuperOneClick 2.3.3 for rooting your device? I can confirm it works with LG LU6200...

Use SuperOneClick v.2.3.2 and not 2.3.3. The latest version don't want to root our Nitro. I can't understand why, but 2.3.2 version root very well.

Remove the SD card( or unmount it), i got the same problem here and it thats what worked
What worked for me was installing the Android SDK package.
I was hanging at step #7 as well and after installing the package it went through.

problems rooting too!
So this being my first post and all please dont freak. I searched as best I could to find the proper thread to ask this and this seemed like the best option. So here it goes.
I myself tried rooting my phone with Superoneclick and after numerous attempts I failed miserably. So I tried Doomlord's rooting method. I thought I had figured it out because at the end it said "OK!" and it even rebooted my phone but when I tried to DL Titanium backup and busybox it said it could not gain root access. My question is, first would it be safe to attempt the root process again, or if not any ideas on what I might have done wrong and maybe a solution to fix it?
Thanks again
P.S dear Mod if this was the inappropriate place to post this I apologize in advance.
i would download the superuser app and see if tibu finds root
also, there should be no prob running the rooting app again if you choose to, if you are rooted already it should return a *already rooted* message.
So I tried dl superuser and that did nothing. I even did a master reset maybe thinking that I might of changed a setting I want suppose to, and even that didn't work. Like I said I can't get SOC past step 7 and I've tried all the tips I read on here to get past that problem but nothing. Doomlords looks like it worked and it reboots my phone but still nothing. I would really truly appreciate any help!
thanks again

Apples and oranges. The two programs used to install custom recovery on the Aria utilize exploits in the HBOOT, which is something only HTC devices have.
What software version do you have on your device? (Look in Settings > About Phone > Software version)
I'm having the same situation. Everything I've read says that if you did the security update without root already then you can't root now. I would love for some one to prove me wrong and show me a way. IM running 2.3.5 v10j with kernel 2.6.35.11.

You have the recent update installed which makes it impossible to root the device. There are still methods to get the device rooted but it is not simple and basically involves this process: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597488
I would urge you to make sure you know what you're doing before attempting this though.
I had the above problem with not being able to root my phone due to the software version i had. I had to use the "unbricking guide" and after some challenges i was able to restore the phone to stock with root. It is risky, but at this moment im not sure theres any other way to do it, unless someone with programming skills can find an alternate method to go back to a previous version of the software without resetting or unbricking the entire phone.
